Nimitz had lost nine straight on the road, but on Friday they dropped down to 6-19 to make it ten. They came up short against the Dekaney Wildcats, falling 8-1. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Wildcats this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 14-2 on Friday.
As for Dekaney, they are on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-11-2 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.5 runs over those games.
For Dekaney's part, Michael Hayes made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Hayes was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with two runs.

That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in February of 2025. Saul Diaz was another key player, going 1-for-2 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.
